N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1199-gg: Transfer of officers and employees

* § 1199-gg. Transfer of officers and employees. Any public officer or

employee under civil service who is selected by the authority may, with

the consent of the commission, board, department or municipality by

which he or she has been employed, be transferred to the authority and

shall be eligible for such transfer and appointment without examination

to comparable offices, positions and employment under the authority. The

salary or compensation of any such officer or employee shall after such

transfer be paid by the authority. Any such officers or employees so

transferred to the authority, pursuant to the provisions of this

section, who are members of or beneficiaries under any existing pension

or retirement fund or system, shall continue to have all rights,

privileges, obligations and status with respect to such fund or system

as are now prescribed by law, but during the period of their employment

by the authority, all contributions to any such fund or system to be

paid by the employer on account of such officers and employees, shall be

paid by the authority. All such officers and employees so transferred to

the authority who have been appointed to positions under the rules and

classifications of the civil service commission shall have the same

status with respect thereto after transfer to the authority as they had

under their original appointments. The appointment and promotion of all

employees of the authority shall be made in accordance with the

provisions of the civil service law and such rules as the civil service

commission may adopt and make applicable to the authority.
